Chapter four finally so hopefully it goes well.

After a few days in being here I continued my secret relationship with Kol and made sure to be careful with our blood exchanges and night time activities.

Tonight I was staying in the castle alone while Katerina, Klaus and Elijah were preparing for the ritual tomorrow.

Kol told me she was going to Bulgaria since the ritual needs to be performed in the bith place of the doppleganger and I felt glad Katerina got to see her home land but I was worried if she would do anything to ruin it since Elijah wanted to save her life and I just hoped she trusted him enough and that she didn't make Klaus mad.

I was in Kol's bed since his siblings were gone with Katerina we didn't have to sneak around to avoid getting caught by them.

Kol was kissing my neck before he sank his teeth in and I moaned since him biting me wasn't bad. It was kind of nice when you get used to it and when he pulled back he bit his wrist for me and I drank his blood before we did what we usually did.

I was looking into Kol's eyes and smiling until my stomach growled and Kol chuckled.

"I shall get you something to eat Bella. We cannot have you wasting away." I gave him a mock glare and he got dressed and left to get me some food and I relaxed in the bed and closed my eyes. It was late and they should of made it to Bulgaria by now if Katerina didn't do anything stupid and I just relaxed until I heard the door open but I thought it was Kol and didn't open my eyes.

"You came back so soon." I didn't hear a reply and I opened my eyes to see no one there and I was starting to get worried "Kol?" I got no answer until I felt a pain in my chest and looked to see it was a dagger and saw the person holding it was Katerina and she had blood on her clothes and mouth.

I felt my heart slowing down and fell back letting death take over.

Kol's POV

I headed to the kitchens to get some fruit and a chalice of wine for Bella. She certainly was a unique creature. I smiled at my thoughts and headed to my room but I wasn't getting the sound of her heart beat which made me run faster till I sped to see the room empty and blood on the sheets.

What happened here? I heard the doors open and ran to see Elijah not happy.

"Elijah what happened?" I asked and he sighed tiredly before answering.

"Katerina ran before we could get to Bulgaria. She turned into a vampire before I could give her the elixer." I was cursing now since Katerina messed with the ritual and now Klaus won't be happy.

"You said Katerina turned did you not?" I was trying to piece somethings together.

"What are you getting at brother?"

"Bella is missing and I found blood on the sheets as well as a dagger with Katerina's scent." Elijah got up quickly.

"Brother you aren't insinuating that Katerina would kill her cousin are you?" I didn't know since being vampire came with the magnified emotions and they made you do things and you didn't know about it until the damage was done.

"Brother I need to tell you something." Elijah nodded and I continued "Me and Bella have been doing a blood exchange. It is why I haven't fed like I used to these past few days." he nodded in understanding.

"And did you perform a blood exchange tonight?" I nodded "So if Katerina killed her she would turn into a vampire but she would have the strength of one that has been alive for a century since she fed from you. Brother I see no problem but you must find her." I nodded and ran quickly to find Bella.

Bella POV

I woke up to find myself in a dark forest and I was alone going over what I remembered.

Katerina stabbed me with a dagger and left me here? I knew this held problems since I was in transition and needed to drink human blood within a day or I would die permenantly.

I felt alone and looked to see which way I could go but I just saw dark forest so I walked hoping to get somewhere but I just passed trees and the night sky wasn't helping my case.

I was walking or wondering around in this case but I heard a howl in the wind. It sounded like a wolf. I started to run now.

I knew I was scared and being in transition didn't help in my case and I ran away from the sounds of wolves making my way through the darkness.

I kept running until I found myself on a road or path of some kind and I felt thankful and ran towards the village in hopes of getting help.

Kol's POV

I picked up Isabella's scent and followed it but the scent was dying fast from the transition but I found myself in the forest and saw small drops of blood until I heard rustling and turned to see Katerina. She was holding a human with her and I smirked at her fear.

"Well Katerina. What predicament are you in now?" she was shaking but spoke.

"Isabella is in transition and I hoped to turn her. She had your blood so she would of turned by now but she ran off." I rolled my eyes.

"Of course she ran off she's a newborn vampire in transition not a puppy. You realise her emotions are going to be all over the place right?" Katerina didn't seem to falter.

"What's wrong? upset you lost your quick meal." I looked at her confused, how did she know? but she smirked "I was eavesdropping on Klaus and Elijah having a discussion and they were talking of how Isabella was yours and yours alone to have. How you fed from her every night. How you slept with her but the one that surprised me was when Klaus said that you would kill her at some point but you didn't." damn it this girl was a little pest that I don't get how Elijah fell for her but thank god Nik wasn't in love with the girl.

"So why kill her while she has my blood?" she started to turn serious.

"She's my family and I don't want to lose her. We have arguments but blood runs thicker than water. I won't let anything happen to her. Even if it means she hates me for a while." I couldn't believe this girl. She kills her cousin then says she doesn't want to lose her.

"Your lucky I haven't torn your throat out Katerina." I was annoyed with her but she smirked.

"But you won't. You wouldn't dare to do anything to hurt Isabella. She'd hate you forever." she was right. I couldn't hurt Isabella no matter how much I hated this little strumpet if I kill her I would have to face Isabella's hate.

"Well then Katerina. We best find Bella. She would be heading to the nearest blood source and her blood lust will take over." I ran towards the village and listened carefully in hopes of getting any sign that Isabella hadn't gone on a murder spree.

Bella POV

I smelt the human blood in the night air and it was tantilizing and hypnotic to me. It called me like a siren calls a salior to his death but in this the blood was my siren but it wouldn't cause me death. I'd give me life and more.

I found a space between a tavern and an inn and went there since my feet were sore from the non stop trip.

I felt exhausted from it. The blood wasn't helping since I grew more hungry and the thirst in my throat grew as well as my hunger but someone walked past and he had a large flaggon of ale and he was really drunk and he smirked when he saw me.

"Well hello there little girl. You lost?" I smelt his horrid breath and I shook my head to answer his question "Then what is a girl like you doing here?" I just wanted him to go away.

"I just want to be alone." I felt the transition taking a hold on me but I kept strong.

He started looking at me like I was a piece of meat and I grew mad.

"Can you go now?"

"Not until I get something from you." I stood up and pushed past him but he grabbed my wrist and I couldn't get out of the grip.

"Let me go." I shouted but he wouldn't.

"You're going to be good and do as I say." I scratched him with my free hand but it drew blood and I felt the blood calling me strongly to kill him.

I pushed him down and the scratch on his neck was spilling blood slowly and I sucked it to pour the blood faster and I felt my gums piercing and veins travelled to my eyes and everything was heightened but the guy looked at me in disbelief and I looked him in the eye.

"You will not scream. You will stay quiet." he nodded and my fangs lengthened as the smell of blood called me "Good because I'm starving." I sank my fangs into his neck and the blood was pouring faster and I drank it all until blood couldn't come anymore and I looked to see the man dead.

I didn't know what to say since if I didn't kill him he would of hurt me but I killed a person and I couldn't stop it.

I moved the body to the alley I was in and looked around getting a good look at my surroundings but I looked at my reflection in a window and saw blood around my lips and spilled on my dress.

I didn't know what I could do since there was no going back but I heard noises and saw Kol and Katerina looking at me.

"Isabella. You completed the transition?" Katerina asked and I nodded shakily but slumped against the wall.

"It's alright Bella. It won't always be like this. You can gain control." I listened carefully to Kol and nodded.

"How long does it take till you forget that the person you drink from is a person?" Katerina was silent.

"It takes time but you do not have to kill to feed. That is something vampires like. The ability to not take a life for them to survive where as others like killing. That is the difference between certain vampires." Kol helped me up and I didn't know what to do since Katerina stabbed me.

"Why did you do it?" I asked and she seemed to be partly scared.

"I didn't want to lose you. I turned to save my life and I didn't want to lose you Isabella." I just nodded since she should of trusted Elijah well enough and now this happened.

"You know Elijah wanted to save your life. He was going to get you to live through the ritual so that he couldn't lose you but no doubt he's mad." she didn't speak and stayed silent till we got to a safe house of some kind for the day and Kol headed to get the help of a witch to get daylight jewellery for me and Katerina.

"Why did you really kill me Katerina?" she seemed puzzled by my question "I know when you lie Katerina so tell me why you did it." she sighed before answering.

"I was jealous of you and Kol. He paid more attention to you than Elijah and Klaus payed to me and I was jealous of the two of you and my jealousy turned to anger and my anger turned to rage and that is how I killed you." I saw her honesty and nodded.

"I will not want you lying to me Katerina. We are family." she nodded.

"So what of you and Kol. Will you go with him or go with me." I didn't know yet. He could help with control but I wasn't sure of what I was to him.

"I do not know of what will happen."

"You know you were just a meal to him. He used you for your blood and mix that with sex and he found it as more entertainment." I was frowning at Katerina.

"He never used me Katerina." I felt my anger starting to rise and Katerina was giving me a worried look.

"You were a mistress to him. He slept with you, fed from you but did he ever tell you of his history as a vampire."

"Of course he did Katerina." I remember how he told me everything from when he was human to losing his brother and having his father hunt down the family.

"Did he ever tell you I love you?" I froze at that question since Kol never did tell me that but I was unsure of my feelings to him.

"We care for one another Katerina. Even I do not know if I love him." I was trying to get past the question but it remained in my head.

What were my feelings to Kol? did I love him? even now I was confused but had no idea of what to do now.

I'm leaving it there for now but thanks for all your lovely reviews.

And a couple reviews I agree with were yes Katherine is a harlot and hell yes Kol is hot. You'd have to be crazy to think he isn't and R&R.

Hopefully I get the other chapters to this story since they're on another computer. I know I sometimes get my inspirations while I'm in school and I might have trouble updating since mock exams are comming up and I have to make an ad for media studies.
